The prastisability of running steam-carriages upon summon roads with a degree of rapidity far beyond the utmost speed of horses in draught, and at from one half to a third lass cost, has long since been proved by the Report of a Committee of the House .f Commons, after a most minute and searching inquiry. This opinion has since beet, confirmed by some of our most talented engineers, amongst whose names will be found that of the late Mr. Telford. Those who are acquainted with the history of the steam engine, from its earliest infancy down to the period when Messrs. :Bolton and Watt effected their invaluable improvements, those •who in later times have seen the obstacles which impeded steam navigation, and are acquainted with the degree of perfection to which it ha s ,aosv been brought, will not readily fall into the error of concluding ,'.hat because the attempts to run steam-carriages upon common i nada have hitherto been ansuesossful, that that object is unattainaiste. Mechanical men have long agreed that the paramount means of onsering success was the constructing a boiler having such a dispo sition of its parts as would rapidly produce the most dense steam, combined with such strength as permanently to resist the utmost internal pressure, and all possible external collision, whilst the ma chinery should be se arranged as that the concussioiss and agita tions of the common roads should not operate upon it p s -ejudicially. Sa• James C. Anderson, Bart., after many years of .study and persevering applieation, has succeeded in perfecting a baiior pos sessing ;Sieve invaluable properties ; and has also devised a simple anti effesaivs• arrangement of the machinery for applying its power to the propulsion of carriages.

SOUTH BRITISH COTTON MANUFAC TURING COMPANY, For SPINNING COTTON TWIST and YARN, and for the MANUFACTURE of POWER LOOM SHIRTINGS and CALICOES. Capital 1,000,0001. in 100,000 Shares of 10/. each. • Deposit Five Shillings per Share. From the immense increase in the manufacture of Cotton, it has become the principal starle of the United Kingdom, with every appearance that it will continue to increase to almost an unlimited extent. The quantity of Cotton consumed in the year 1832, amounted to t. , 32 millions of Rounds weight, whilst that of last year was 36S mil lions, and of this large increase forty millions was during the year I 83'5. A very large portion is again exported in the form of Twist and Yarn, to the Continents of Europe and America; to Turkey, India. and China. The latter empire being now thrown open to euhliceetererise. there is little doubt the trade to that country will flies be increased to meet the growing wants of its countless popu lation. The export of ist and Yarn alone during the last year, was tinwares of 6,000,000/. sterling. A large quantity of Calico is every year exported in its grey state, • and also bleached for shirtings. The demand for these articles for home consumption alone is very considerable, and not being liable fee the change of fashion, are always of steady and safe sale, at re munerating priceS. When it is recollected that so many spinners and power-loom weavers have made large fortunes within the last few years, it is to be wendered that an establishment has never yet been formed en the basis of thepresent Company, the more so as many of these manu- Ineturers have had to contend with numerous disadvantages, and limited capital, notwithstanding which the trade is in a great and steady increase. The rapid growth of the Cotton Trade, and the introduction of the Silk and Woollen manufactures into Lancashire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire, alone, has caused such a demand for labour in those counties, that there are not sufficient hands for the manufacturers, whose orders have, consequently, been injuriously protracted, or remained tntally unexecuted, a fact which offers sufficient and con vincing evidence of the necessity of establishing the Cotton manu• facture in other districts, and where there will be no difficulty of l finding workmen in sufficient numbers, at a rate of labour more be neficial to the manufacturers. The formation of Railroads will greatly and materially favour the Views of the Company, in facilitating the conveyance of Coal to its establishments, and will enable it successfully to compete with the above districts in procuring that essential article of the manufac turer's consumption. These are some of the many reasons for which it is proposed to, establish a Company, under the above title, who will erect Milli and Machinery in eligible situations, and carry on the business o* Spinners and Power-loom Manufacturers. To have the fullest advantage of favourable situations, as they may offer, for the above purpose, it is expedient that the Company should have ample funds to resort to; it is therefore proposed that tile Capital shall be . 1,000,0001., in 100,000 Shares of 101. each, with a Deposit of 53. per Share, which Deposit shall be made available for the incidental expenses cf the Company, and so soon as 23,000 Shares shall have been subscribed for, the Company will rom=ed to business. A Clause will be introduced into the Deed of Settlement, that no Proprietor shall be answerable beyond the amount of his sub scription. The affairs of the Company to be managed by a Board of five Directors, two of whom shall retire annwally, in rotation, but will be eligible to be re-elected; all vacancies to be filled up at a gene- i ral meeting of Proprietors. to be convened for that purpose. At all general meetings the holder of ten shares to have one vote, thirty shares two votes; sixty shares three votes, one hundred shares four votes, and one vote for every fifty additional shares. Subscribers may vote by proxy. The Shareholders to pay a first call of Five Shillings per share to the Bankers of the Company, within twenty-one days after public notice to that effect, and a second call of Ten Shillings in sixty days afterwards, and the residue in such portions, and at such times, as the Directors shall deem fit, three months' notice being given of every such intended call, and any Shareholder neglecting to pay the calls within the time mentioned, shall incur the forfeiture of his shares in respect to which they are payable. From the encouraging prospects afforded to this Company, it is confidently anticipated that they will be enabled to pay interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum, from the date of the first call, independently of the future advantages of which this undertaking gives the confident promise, when the works are complete and in operation.

WITH WHICH " THE TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED,. LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 183 L Dr. CHALMERS delivered his second lecture yesterday; which was on " the vindicatio n of a National Religin t ,', s Establi s h ment, i n opposition to the views of the (Politics 1) economists." From the Rev. Gentleman having m ade lil a) : previous a ll us i ons, i n what, we thought, a sneer i ng nu ' 913 t e to free t ra d e d octr i nes, we anticipated an attempt to ttarn 0 the profit of establishments, in the presence of a T r (3 t ri e auditory, th e T ory prejudices against free-trade, 'ST:- were most agreeably disappointed : for Dr, ei , ,aLie ß ; after givi ng a conc i se view of the most ultra and, cornPlieTa. free-trade d octr i nes i n relation to commerce, as. expounn by the p o liti ca l economists, expressed his unqualified e assent" to th em i n a manner sufficiently fervent to bre,j, the heart s o f t h e writers in the Herald, Standard, u Post, and those in the Times also, if they " Aa; apostatised as completely on political eeanonlY on political parties. It was, Dr. CHALMERS said expres sly ' because he gave his " unqualified assent" to these d o ctrin e% ;: and cont en d e d f or a national religious establishment, thatijv was peculia r ly proper in,and in cum b ent on him, to P°' n :" out the great difference between commerce and C V'S ; tianity, as we ll as the false analogy which led such emin° men as TURGOT, particularly referring to his Essai sur l es Fondations, and ADAM Soluru, unjustly to a pply the c° l r mercial d oc t r i nes of supply and demand to providing ref' T' gious in s t ruct i on f or the people. To point out the fakso analogy whi c h l e d the Economists astray, and to point 04b1t the pri nc ipl e o f h uman nature which makes national est.* 0 lishntents to teach religion necessary, was the object of 11 61 eloquent di scourse, r i ch in illustrations, which was listen to by a c row d e d au di ence with unabated r a tt en tion for m° than an h our an d a half. Having yrstcrday suppl ied fi j our readers with a necessarily hurried, b u t faithful °P ample report o f t h e l ecture, we shall not enter n°lo 0 further i n t o it s d eta il s ; b ut emlea.vour to show tha t learned Lecturer, Rot the - political economists, is in error. After acknowledginP; the truth of a great body of sel °ll° : found e d on th e w id rist induction and the most extensive „c perience, and ern'iracing all the numerous and comPlic at :: phenomen a o f b uy i ng and selling, which include al l the means by which society is fed, clothed, and housed, it T ' Ti as incumb en t on D r. CHALMERS to prove, in the clerlre,t ;._ manner, that hi s own peculiar employment forms a , ° ception t o th e genera l ru l e. If, indeed, he had, like oth er Tories, d en i e d t h e pr i nc i p l e of free trr,de, he rraight ba b e ye classed hi s own occupat i on as one of many caul ; h u " e admitted the principle, and failed to establish the ea, caption. It will immediately occur to our intenPo gent readers, that ' .Doctor means singular in claiming that his own c raft, _ , t CHALMERS is by or art, should not b,e subjected to the general rule ; and f ; will excite suspieion that on this point he only lows in th e wa k e of the selfish producers of almost eve ry commodity, Why, there is scarcely one profession , v: One trade i n t h e country, from that of a barrister to that o f a t i cke t-porter —from the cultivator of t he s od to the maker of gin —who does not, whether an ad"' sate of free trade or not, contend, like Dr. Cil,ao l E 3s ' that its doctrines do not apply to his own part' _„l ar o cen; pation. Th e B arr i ster insists that peculiar privileges 0r necessary t o p rocure men of talents and ; .ategrity f or tii e , ha , ; the tick e t- porter asserts that guarantee is requ ire , ; for th e h onesty of those who mr,„,- 3 ,t trusted with le tter and pa rce l s , an d he shaws his, badge as the token that he is a prope r man, r.che far„,ner says free trade would throw the 'owl out of er.:itivation ; and the maker of gin t hat fee trade Qt.Prf-d to his business, would destroy- ho m e T 4 0NDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY, - 141 .
